ADD NEW: Section 5. Beginning August 1st 2025. Any bargaining unit member who fails to submit a dues payment or equivalent of a membership dues payment within one month of the due date, that is not the result of an organizational clerical error, will result in the members cumulative seniority date being reset to the date of the missed payment.

Rationale: Employees covered under the bargaining unit who are not dues paying members, reap all of the benefits of seniority. These members contribute far less than dues paying members and in many cases work to actively undermine the organization by convincing others to quit paying dues. This amendment is designed to reward loyal NATCA members.
This change would apply to ALL employees covered under the bargaining unit. Employees will not be required to join NATCA, or pay any dues to NATCA. However, failure to submit the equivalent of the amount of the standard NATCA dues per month (draft, mail, physically hand payment to a NATCA official) will result in reduction of seniority.
